Naming file
Permanent link

You can naming the post file as you want, just keep it short and fit to the title. If the file is a-title.md, in url it should be automically set to http://...../posts/a-title/. But you can also change the url slug with permalink in frontmatter.

permalink: "posts/a-different-title/"

Frontmatter
Permanent link

First thing you need to check is the frontmatter, which is started from the first line of every posts files. Example of good frontmatter:

---
title: A title
description: A description of the page
date: 2024-01-31
tags:
 - some
 - tagging
---

If you updating the post in a different date, you can add lastUpdated below date in the frontmatter. For example:

...
date: 2024-01-31
lastUpdated: 2025-12-31
...

Now, you can start writing an markdown content after the frontmatter are ready. If you not sure how to writing in Markdown (that's the most common lesson), you can learn at Markdown Guide website or in our Markdown Test Page code.
